Possible Explanation of U.S. Obesity rates: January, 2010
Copyright 2010, James Michael Howard, Fayetteville, Arkansas, U.S.A.
It is my hypothesis that the "secular trend," the increase in size and earlier puberty occurring in children, is caused by an increase in the percentage of individuals of higher testosterone. More specifically, I suggest this is due to an increase in the percentage of mothers of higher testosterone with time within the population. This exposes more fetuses to increased maternal testosterone with time within the population. I suggest this is the cause of the parallel increase in morbidity occurring within the population, such as obesity, cancer and breast cancer, diabetes, etc.
As you may have read a while back, a decline has been noticed in pregnancy rates in young girls in the U.S. This sounds very similar to the slowing of the increase in obesity. I have explained this; it is due to testosterone becoming so high in some teenage girls that they become infertile: http://www.anthropogeny.com/birth%20rate%20secular%20trend.htm . This same effect may explain the increase in myopia which was given news coverage this week. I invite you to go to my blog: http://sites.google.com/site/howardsanthropogenyblog/ , look down the page for just a bit, or use control f, to find: "Increasing Myopia in the United States."
At some point, the reduction in fertility of the high testosterone females will reduce some of the morbidity I attribute to the secular trend. This will encourage some to suggest the false premise that cultural programs are succeeding, as has already been suggested in the case of reduce teenage pregnancies.

We must not only be conscious of what we eat but we must also do routine exercises.

It's funny how this research determined that obesity was levelling off, when another recent study found that while "overweight" levels are plateauing, "obese" levels are still growing

According to two new studies released by the CDC, the obesity "epidemic" appears to be "in remission", but this is hardly cause for celebration. Obesity among boys ages 6 to 19 is still on the rise, and we have irreversible metabolic damage, diabetes, and heart disease to look forward to in the future. The solution is not focus groups or community support centers. The solution is to stop thinking of obesity - in actuality a series of poor choices - as a disease akin to cancer or AIDS. Instruction in basic nutrition must be implemented in elementary schools across the country to ensure the next generation can make more informed choices than their parents did.
